Help Capacitive Button Not Lit Up

[droidjock]

Anybody else experienced this issue? Here's the pattern of this bug:

1. The capacitive buttons stays lit (when the screen is on) while charging if the battery is not fully charged (orange/yellow LED indicator).


2. The capacitive buttons do not stay lit (when the screen is on) while charging if the battery is fully charged (green LED indicator).


It's very annoying fumbling for these buttons in the dark while being charged at home. I use my Evo mounted in my car for the most part with full time charging (a must for the Evo) for navigation, music, etc. It is a safety issue during night driving when I have to fumble for these buttons in darkness. HTC/Sprint probably has a disclaimer about this somewhere but still, a bug is a bug. They should do something about it. After all, my guess is that this is a simple coding fix on their part.

Yea, I've noticed it, but once you use the phone for about two weeks, the button location becomes second nature.

Just something to live with.

Just noticed it today. Weird behavior. I figured it was just me.

I just got off the phone with HTC and said they're going to look into the bug. Hopefully, we'll get a fix on the next OTA update. We'll see.

dang that's neat lol something new about my evo finally again..i never noticed this until you guess spoke up about this issue..but doesn't make me hate my evo one bit though

Well that's just it, we have no real major bugs left. Since our phones are now nearly perfect, there's nothing to complain about except little nitpicking inconviences.

LOL safety issues?

Being a bit melodramatic?

If it's a safety issue you shouldn't be messing with the phone at all when driving!

Seriously? The safety issue is not the unlit buttons. The safety issue is you.

There is a tweak over on XDA to turn them on and off via an icon on the homescreen. Some guy got pissed with this and made it.

What are you...like 16-years-old...you friggin teenage troll! Why do you have to expose your trollness here. If you can't say something constructive, go out to your parents backyard and play with your marbles.

Seriously? The safety issue is not the unlit buttons. The safety issue is you.

If you were gonna flex your troll muscles, at least make your fellow trolls be proud of you by not making corny elementary comments like you just did.

hahah i was just about to say that

Poor little troll who cannot speak for himself and resorted to jumping on the troll bandwagon.

Is this guy serious? Yes I'm sure androidspcs with his 1200+ posts is a huge troll. Trolltastic. Trollicious. How about you mister 6 posts and already namecalling?

 

[droidjock]

Never mind.

 

[Evoixmrftw]

Oh, so that's what it is? Just because you have 1200 posts, you feel you are superior and invincible that you can just bully your way around this forum. Is this where your life revolves around - your 1200 juvenile posts? 1200 posts and still couldn't get it right? Why do make it your business how I use my device? I know why...you can't help it because that's your nature - a troll.

So why don't you create your post and troll to your heart's content over there instead of stinking up thread? Get out of my friggin thread and leave it alone.

So if anyone has an opinion different than yours they're automatically a troll? I'm sensing extreme hostility, do you have anger issues?

Why is 1200+ post a measure of superiority? Please explain that kind of mentality to me.

hahaha look at this kid

Where do you get that I was making him out to be superior? He has 1300 posts so I'm assuming if he was a troll he'd be kicked out of the forums a long time ago. Whereas you come in here and your already namecalling members that don't agree with you...

A shrink you are not. You'll probably fare better as a tarrot card reader. Please don't patronize me.

Yeah, the good ol' "it's an opinion" cop out...and you are speaking for this dude because...

...don't agree to what? Reread his posts and try comprehending it this time around.

Why do always start your posts with "hahaha". It's kinda synonymous to "Duh". Can't you do better than that?

This is a public forum. People are gonna have different opinions than yours. You can't whine and cry and call everyone a troll every time it happens.

Oh, and as for protecting androidspcs, just felt ironic that a newbie was calling a senior member a troll with little reason for doing so.

...don't agree to what? Reread his posts and try comprehending it this time around.

You say its a safety issue, he said it isn't. That's what we call a disagreement. Maybe YOU should comprehend what your reading.

 

[droidjock]

No, man. I'm just passionate about exposing mentally challenged individuals who pretend to be smart.

 

[Evoixmrftw]

Lmao beat me to the punch with that last post chaotik.
